Memorial show postponed: PC Ged Walker and dog Kai
But organiser Janet Wesley said an inspection of the field with Erewash Borough Council has deemed the ground too wet to use safely.
The show is now booked for Sunday, September 9.
PC Walker died in 2003 as a result of injuries he suffered while on duty.
The officer, who worked for Notts Police's dog section, was attempting to stop a thief in a stolen taxi and was dragged along the road.
He died in hospital two days later.
Andrew Parfitt, of Wareham Close, Aspley, was found guilty of manslaughter at Birmingham Crown Court the following year and was jailed for 12 years.
The show will raise money for PC Walker's family, as well as for the families of two Royal Army Veterinary Corps soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
